Yesterday we were able to successfully complete the inspection of our olive culture by the CSQA and have now received a quota that will allow us to declare our entire harvest as Denominazione di Origine Protetta Lago di Garda Orientale.
And today comes the less joyful news. Unfortunately, the olives did not work as well this year as the butterflies in the Campo. I have certainly asked half a dozen people and received as many reasons. Last year was a very good harvest, then less is usually to be expected in the following year, but being so extreme is amazing. Bad weather conditions in the flowering period are wet and cool in order to obtain successful wind pollination. In addition, it had hailed five times, which has never been the case, as the locals say. Is that the expected impact of climate change? And the rest is done by the fruit flies, which had increased significantly last year, with the abundant food supply. In any case, my traps were well attended.
So this year there will be no or very little controlled olive oil from Lake Garda Orientale.
Wir arbeiten für ein gesundes Leben in unserem Olivenhain, der für Sie das wertvolle Olivenöl hervorbringt.
